The recent few incidents forced the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to ponder the national players' discipline.
The board high-ups met the team officials who recently toured South Africa with the national team, at the Mirpur headquarter yesterday to gather information about few occurrences.
New disciplinary committee chairman Ahmed Sajjadul Alam was not ready to disclose what actually was discussed in the
meeting but what he confirmed was that president Maj Gen Sina Ibn Jamali referred a disciplinary issue to his committee.
The board has taken the initiative as it was reported that some players were quizzed at the Zia International Airport on their return from South Africa for carrying alcohol and they were also involved in a squabble with supporters during that tour.
"President referred an issue to my committee and we are working on it. There is nothing that we can inform you and we will let the media know if we have any conclusive outcomes," said Alam.
He however admitted that there is a need for them to create awareness among the national cricketers about some disciplinary issues as well as the code of conduct
Another board director and former national captain Gazi Ashraf Hossain, who was also present in the meeting along with Mahbubul Anam, said that previously they were not too concerned about the players’ discipline, as there were hardly any problems.
But the recent actions gave them the impression that there is need to inform the players about the few issues
SEE PAGE 18 COL 5 which will help them avoid any trouble in the future as many think that most of the players lack the knowledge about behavior of a national player.
It's not only on the disciplinary ground but many felt that there are some other issues which should be brought to the mind of the cricketers. Many have even doubts over whether the young guys can understand how big it is to represent a country.
"One has to understand how big it is to represent a country. We did not have too much concern about a few things including the disciplinary issues but what we thought was that the time has come to focus on those issues to avoid any incident," said Ashraf.
"Another thing is that one should feel proud as a national player and the first thing is one should perform in the field first," he added.
The team management however has a huge responsibility to aware the players about the above things and particularly the team operations manager can play a big role regarding these issues but there has been a lack of initiatives from them.
In these days an operational manager have hardly any job rather than providing the logistical supports but Gazi Ashraf said that there is no bar on the manager for which he can keep himself from doing other activities.
"There is no specific bound-ary for the team operations manager and definitely he can play a role about awareness of some issues," said Ashraf.
